No longer kids but still not teens, and maturing more rapidly in every way than any of their predecessors, young Americans between the ages of 8 and 14 represent an increasingly important stand-alone consumer segment. On the one hand, tweens present major marketing challenges because they are part of the most marketing-savvy and consumer-oriented generation in history and consequently are extremely aware of efforts to persuade them to buy a product or service. On the other hand, tweens offer exciting possibilities for marketers of a wide range of consumer products. Their purchasing power has grown measurably within the past decade, they are dedicated to buying the "right" brands and products for themselves, and they have a significant influence on family purchasing decisions.
Find out what factors influence the purchasing decisions of tweens the most. Learn about shifting patterns of brand and product loyalty among tweens. Understand the differences between a kid and a tween and see how companies are capitalizing on them. See how companies are adapting products and developing marketing strategies to succeed in the fast-changing tweens market
